Through a series of temporary public art installations, this initiative centers on placemaking—creatingwelcoming, dynamic environments that bring people together and celebrate shared experiences. Guided by the unifying theme Tukwila United, the artwork will reflect the city's rich diversity and the global spirit of the World Cup. Artists are encouraged to explore concepts of unity, movement, identity, and belonging, drawing inspiration from both local stories and the international energy of the tournament. These installations will activate key spaces throughout Tukwila, transforming them into festive, engaging destinations for residents and visitors alike. By blending creativitywith community pride, the selected works will not only enhance the visual landscape but also foster a sense of connection, celebration, and collective identity during this historic moment. Blanca Santander Artwork for Tukwila Public Library Project Description The City of Tukwila is seeking to commission unique artwork to be printed as vinyl window art and installed at the Tukwila Public Library to enliven and activate Tukwila Village. The artwork will be visible to the public and inside the library. The vinyl design will not be full coverage, but rather "cut outs" to accommodate visitor needs, including retaining visibility in the lower section of the windows and allowing natural light into the building; see the image example below. The artwork design should in some way connect to the theme, Tukwila United, and the events celebrating the FIFA World Cup. The artist is welcome to explore both abstract and representational ways to interpret the soccer tournament and community connection in their own creative style. We think your artwork has a strong connection to community and movement and would be an engaging contribution to the FIFA World Cup community events. The City of Tukwila is seeking a professional artist with strong communication skills who is willingto work closely with the city and the sign vendor to create successful public art within the set timeline. There is a hard deadline for the artwork design and implementation, as it coincides with the FIFA World Cup. Process The artist will meet with project managers Beth Gahan and Michael May to discuss project details and answer any questions. The artist will be expected to create a design draft for review, up to 3 revisions if needed and provide high-quality, print -ready digital file of the completed artwork. The vinylvendorwill provide a windowtemplate with measurements, print and install all banner art. The City of Tukwila will provide the artist with support during the design/print process. The City is responsible for banner printing and installation costs. Budget The artist will be paid $2,000.00, inclusive of all art, design development, formatting the artwork for print media, providing print -ready files, licensing for printing art and promotional use, working openly and collaborativelywith all project partners to support the public art process and artwork implementation.
